Black SL55 at European Delivery Center

Somewhat off topic, but one of the photos in the attached link shows the Black SL55 at the European Delivery Center in Germany that I had made reference to in another post. It follows the photo of the Black gullwing SL.

(Anyone interested in seeing more photos from our recent European Delivery trip go to the "New E Class" forum and locate the thread titled "Just Back from Germany." )

The best way to view the below link is to click on "slideshow" once you see the thumbnails.

(In the final photo in the link below note the Mercedes logo powder sugared onto the plate of Apple Strudle with Vanilla Sauce by the chef at the European Delivery Center dining room.)

Those 19" wheels are sweet. I have them on my silver SL55. They basically made the car look 100% better from the stock turbine rims. Much easier to clean too.
